# fix Shortcode sample (documentation)

 * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-shortcode-sample-documentation/)
 * using “contact form block” (version 0.2.0) and the sample code from
    [https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block-faq-customization/#Shortcode](https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block-faq-customization/#Shortcode)
   always caused weird behavior, whereas the block-mode version from the back-end
   editor worked fine.
 * After a long while I realized an unfortunate combination of syntax in the sample
   code:
 *     ```
       [contact-form-block 
       	name_label="Name" 
       	(more attributes)
       	message_rows="5"]  // end of single tag [shortcode attr="" ...] syntax
       [/contact-form-block]      // additional end tag causes the confusing result :-)
       ```
   
 * So it would be nice if you – by chance – could update the sample at
    [https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block-faq-customization/](https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block-faq-customization/)**#
   Shortcode**
 * And of course…
    Thanks a lot for the contact form plugin!
 * Best regards
    Gerhard

 * Hi Gerhard,
 * Thanks a lot, indeed, I fixed it now. However, the issue was only caused by the
   sample code, right? Nowhere else? The plugin itself is fine?
 * Cheers and if you have some time, don’t hesitate to leave a little review, this
   plugin is looking for some love 🙂
